Summary

Math whiz Gemma Rowe has found the one problem her math can't solve: She's fallen for her female and very heterosexual best friend.

Gemma Rowe is a shy math nerd from Sydney who, despite having an affinity for probability and logic, only just worked out at 28 that she's not actually straight. Not only is she not straight, but she's developed feelings for her best friend, Sarah.

Sarah and Gemma go way back - since they met at university, they've been completely inseparable. They've traveled together, landed jobs at the same company, and shared each other's triumphs and sorrows. There was even that one memorable night when Sarah, completely drunk, told Gemma she couldn't live without her. To Gemma, romance seems like the natural progression.

There's just one teensy little problem with this whole equation: Sarah is straight.

Gemma knows the logical thing to do is to get over Sarah. She wants to be in her own happy relationship and not caught up on her straight best friend. But how is she supposed to get over Sarah when, despite all those advanced problem-solving skills, she can't even figure out who she's attracted to anymore?

Contains mature themes.

Great romance

How lovely, a truly romantic book that breaks free from the usual tropes and explores the central character three dimensionally and has a good story and "supporting cast"

Funny and painful

While it would be difficult not to sympathise with geeky, introvert Gemma Rowe's predicament of being in love with her bestie in "Solve for i",
her behaviour was often too painfully frustrating for me and I found those passages made the story drag. In other parts of the book, however, Gemma is a sweet and refreshingly quirky character who made me smile and occasionally laugh out loud.

Narrator, Cat Gould, does a good job of bringing the characters to life and it's great to listen to a story set in Oz and read by an Aussie.

One of the best I've read in a While

This is the best story I've read in a long time, there were times where I didn't want to go to sleep, I just wanted to see what was gonna happen. I really loved this story, perfect to draw to.

DNF: MC is a whiny asshole

Note: I got 6:32:09 in before I couldn't bear to continue

I really wanted to like this book but it like listening like walking through mud, The story is so agonisingly slow, it which not helped by the seriously bad anxiety the MC has but is never actually address. After coming to terms with her own sexuality she decides it best to lie to her best friend and try to date men. Her other friend who shes confessed everything to really needed to take her aside and ash her why she is being such an asshole. Also she kind of pathetic, she is very much a character in a book, no one is real life is that stupid and idiotic. She gets herself stuch is shitty situation that are completely her own fault that could have been prevented by acting like normal human being.

Honestly not worth the money, though if they trimmed the book down by about 50% it might be a much better book. Way to much fluff and filler.
